Custom

This twin-pontoon houseboat has a 5-year AMSA Certificate of Survey 4E expiring in May 2030 with a 10-year AMSA survey not due until 2035.

She can be purchased and kept in the current hire-sharing agreement with Mandurah Houseboats, or taken private and registered as a recreational boat/liveaboard. She is currently certified to carry a maximum of 8 berthed and 4 unberthed passengers.

If the boat is left in the hire-sharing agreement, a pen is provided. If the boat is bought and taken out of the sharing arrangement, the current pen on the Murray River may be available for lease on a monthly basis to the new buyer, subject to certain security requirements.

Last out-of-water in April 2026 - antifouled, both motors serviced, toilet serviced, general repairs and maintenance undertaken. The boat has been taken out of the water every year since 2004, even though this was not a requirement.
